G. Ramamohana Rao, Director of the Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (VRDE), has confirmed that Bharat-Forge has obtained the Transfer of Technology (ToT) for the WhAP 8×8 wheeled armoured platform. This significant development paves the way for Bharat-Forge to produce its variants of the WhAP, tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
Following the footsteps of Tata and Mahindra, Bharat-Forge becomes the third company to secure ToT for the WhAP platform. Tata and Mahindra have already introduced their second-generation WhAP models, incorporating valuable feedback from the Indian Army and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
Bharat-Forge is expected to unveil its locally manufactured WhAP vehicles later this year. Bharat-Forge is expected to bring its unique value proposition to the table, incorporating its Integrated Power Pack, Automatic Transmission, Floatation, and Propulsion systems into its WhAP design.
The company’s entry into the market will further enhance the options available to the armed forces and other potential customers. With its expertise in automotive manufacturing, Bharat-Forge is well-positioned to develop and produce high-quality Armoured vehicles that meet the demanding standards of the defence sector.
